While up next for the franchise is prequel offering Kingsman: The Great Game, we now have an update on the already-confirmed continuation story of Taron Egerton’s Eggsy.

The aforementioned The Great Game is set for a February 2020 release, but Matthew Vaughn has long since revealed plans for a straight-up Kingsman 3 – and a Kingsman TV series, for that matter – to arrive at some point over the next few years.

Now, speaking to Digital Spy, Vaughn has explained how Kingsman 3 will actually be the end of the line for Egerton’s Eggsy Unwin and Colin Firth’s Harry Hart.

As Vaughn put it, “We’ve got to finish off the Eggsy and Harry relationship. The final chapter of their relationship needs to be told, which we’ve got ready to do, and I’m hoping to shoot that later this year or the beginning of next year.”

By the time that 2017’s The Golden Circle had come to a close, Eggsy married the Crown Princess of Sweden, Harry was back fighting the good fight once more, and Channing Tatum’s Agent Tequila had also joined forces with the Kingsman agency.

At this stage, there’s no set release date for Kingsman 3, although one would have to expect it late-2020 at the earliest if Vaughn does indeed get cameras rolling before this year is out.
